[gnso-rds-pdp-wg] ICANN Legal Opinion on GDPR - Part 1

[Greg Aaron]

Dear WG  leadership:

As we expected, this ICANN Org effort will have a profound effect on our work.  We will need to understand and track the legal advice being made, which overlaps with and in some places may supplant work we have been doing.  And the memo's "Finding New Ways Forward"  section (3.9) provides advice for the policy-making process.  Clearly our WG needs (deserves) a presentation at Abu Dhabi from Teresa Swinehart, who is heading up this effort. 

Could this be done at the WG meeting on Wednesday 1 November?  
Wednesday will be better attended, both in-person and remotely.  (Some members may still be in transit during the WG's early Saturday morning meeting.  And the Saturday meeting is at a challenging time for those participating remotely -- ~6:30 a.m. Saturday morning in Europe /  12:30 a.m. Saturday East Coast USA.)

As part of the briefing, it would be good to hear about this effort's schedule, workplan, and immediate next steps.  The memo says: "We intend to provide a series of memorandums, which will address different aspects of the issue and where the  scope and topics of each such memorandum will be discussed and agreed with ICANN. We understand that ICANN intends to make each memorandum publicly available."

All best,
--Greg

I want to call attention to the following paragraph:

"The memo highlights the complexity of these issues in the domain name space, and concludes that the current open, publicly available WHOIS services cannot remain unchanged. The WHOIS system has to become adaptable to address the GDPR from the European perspective, as well as other changing regulations around the world."

After input from Data Protection experts, the Wilson Sonsini memo and now this memo, do any in the WG disagree with this statement?

Chuck
